New Air-Horns for the Forza!

[pullin_gs]

These things are so loud THEY SCARE ME when I light them up!

I bought the kit (included horns, compressor, relay) for about $15.
Wires, stainless screws, connectors, extra plastic hose cost me another $10.
Total install time (glass, paint, custom mounting, wiring) is between 3 and 4 hours.

On my other bikes, I mount the trumpets directly to my fairing as is without mods.
However, these are mounted on the wheel-side of the front forks of the scooter (lots of vibration).
I had to "glass" the trumpets with two layers of fiberglass cloth and resin (5-minute epoxy) because of lateral force exerted at the horn base due to Washington DC pot-holes.

The compressor lays inside the space over top of the left storage compartment right undernieth the plastic cover that is held on by two screws.
I wired the compressor and relay directly to the battery terminals with 16awg copper wire with a 30-amp fuse (15 amp fuse blows). The wires and plastic hoses all fit nicely between the red plastics and bike's inards.
The horn relay's coil wires up directly (in series...I kept the original horn) to the existing horn.

Advice:
DO NOT let horns get water inside them. Horn will rust and quit working.
DO NOT mount compressor close to the ground where the air inlet will suck in dirt. This will ruin the compressor.

Done!

All rightie then, that is some serious hornage right there. Love it!

This is the horn that I bought for our bikes. They are compact and easy to hide.

Very nice....thanks for posting the link.
My main issue with the route I took is that the trumpets do not hold up to the elements well.
Water will ruin them (WD40 sprayed periodically into the horn helps though).

Have you had good luck with these?

[you you]

Aren't these positioned so that water is likely to get into the horns?

Really could not go with that look if it was my bike.....maybe half that size.....maybe......

I have to admin that my priority to "go with that look" was not even a factor when I chose these horns.
When it comes to my safety gear (They call me the Glowing Anti-Squid!) aesthetics really does not matter to me.

When sitting still, yes. Moving it matters not.
I wonder if the expensive stainless horns have stainless 'inards also???

I got cut off by some asshole so I hit the horn good & loud. I caught up to the guy and it was my next door neighbour. The old guy has dementia.

Loud horns don't cure dementia.
